| Summary: | Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue. l I • +: . .H. • • oli ;. .,'/. ,: • • . t. t' • • " I • •1 p . , .

I have hearG it · a!id that the place to preach is to the man at the faca. r heartily agree '\) ith thi idea, but i.t doe not go far . . ugh, for preaching safety to the mat~ at the fac-e ·ill not prevent personal injuries unle. _ the h.ead .of tne companJ' in,· ts that all of· the .employee of that ny practice safety. The Big Boss must be berun · th,e movt>-ment and in 'i t that aU employees mu ~ t obey orders and saf~ty rules. On. .e large company in ( ur field recently had two bad fail ur~ , .one fatal .and • the other very e.:riou , th.e latter losiiiO' two or thre :ftnger .and one eye. Both of the e tanu.re were not only cau ed by the jnjured man not using o ·dinary caution, but were caused by no-t oheyin:g th.e mine rul s ~ and deliberately doing some. thing he had bee,.n told no- to do. In di cus ing these failures With the m.ana-gem. e:nt o.f the mine, the GenetaJ Manager s~id, "We have preached safety, we have ,aiety committee , we have thrown u.,p every afeguard we know of, and yet we l1-av.e one death and one s erieu.s injury in a week. Both of the were ir.Je.xcusable and rank care] s nes ." Hi. eonclusio11 was that there wa OJ))y one answer, and that was that be had been t90 le.nient in enforcing sa.fet~ rule . A man wh'O will not obey safety rules . hould be discharged without ceremony, not only for hl own good. but for -the good of a.U the other employee at that place. ln my awn experi · nc · , we had an old arkey digging coat and h e h.a.d. a cha-lk eye. Th ~ mi;ne f 1reman was a man undH 30, and .he came in Jac!{'s place. The for man aid, ''J ck, there is a loose pjece of slate over you. I s e }'OU h ~w som ptops there. S t one at once.' According io ihe Chalk Eye, as s on as the forema.'n left J acJ{ sa:id, '''He don't need to tell me where to s t a p. rop; I was mining coal befo1·e he was born.'' In 30 minutes this slat fell and killed him, but did not hu:rt his back hand. Just what you would rlo to prevent a failure of this kind, I do not know. The only thing I can suggest is that by being hard~boited in th nJorc ment of safety nll6s, your o1·ganlzabon might leaxn after while that failure to obey 01'det~ meant instant djschai'ge, then they might eventually Jearn that it was for their own good. :A man may do a thing in a dang rous way many, many times and get away with it, but eventually he wm get hurt or killed. Ju, t like the fellow who passes a car on the br-ow of a hill and may get away with it for a {im.e, . but will eventually have a serious .w:r·eck. So I say, dangerous p:r·aetices should b carefully watched for. Wrecks or damage to equipment should be carefull investigated. Not so much for the cost . of the damaged equipment, but because where there is damaged equipment there is a great J')ossibility of damage to human beings, and saf ety rules should be 1igidly enforced. Of course, every safeguard that can be put up should be done. Geap; should be enclosed, stationary motors guarded, belts and f~ns protected against someone getting tangled in them, run ways on tipples should have . subStantial gua.rd rails, and so on. These things are o apparent that it might s.eem foolish· to even mention them, but I have visited mines where some dangerous pieces of machinery had been left unguarded and the people who wo.rked there had become so used to it that they did not even know it was dangerous. And there is another cause of failures, o1· injuries. Such close contact with dangerous conditions that you :finally forget they are dangerous. I used to be in railroad construction work. Up to that time, safety pTactices had never been thought of in railroad construction. I have seen men loading a hole with dynamite in winter, lay a case of dynamite around the ti.Te to thaw. Some of it would catch on fit·e; they would break a stick that was on fire in h: o and throw the burning part away. Of c0u:r-se every once in a while a hand or arm would be blown off, but we kept no I'eeords and it wa oon forgotten. Al ci, I have een naen stiek a fu e into a dynamite cap and clinch it with their tee.th. Every once in a while a man got hj head blown off doing it, but it wa oon forgott n.

Oartel stated in substance that with their 45,000 men, they had come to the conclusion that safety guards, and doing a" . ar a much as po sible , . ~th n1echanjcal hazards, was all right and necessary, but that the greate t good was to be accomplished by educating the employee and making him take an interest in the matter. \\'jth this in view, they put on an intensive safety drive and gave each workman a pledge card. On this plBdge card was the great . eal of t he state in which he lived, and when each department was ~ ign ed up 100(1 , (~ach man w~s given a button \\ ith the seal of ihe ~tate on it and ihe f()reman gets a certificate signed by the chje f executive officer, this c~ rtificate to be hung in a conspicious place. •'It might ai first eem that thj u prirnary ·tun·;" haid ;r1r.

Schwab m~ ca1 eer of nearly fifty yea1·s in business indu~try 1 have participated with real personal "akfaetion in the unfolding of a great huJJlan relation hip between tho e who manage and those ·ho lahor. \Vhatever ete I may have achieved, my part in thi: l'ntleavor will remain my most cheri hed • po~se , 1on. n ·Jrjng no oth~r era have labor relations been so sound and whoJegome as in America toda. . No people i the world are a free from class feeling. Here the \'Orker of today i the manager of tomorrow. Our indugtrie, prosper because men are d · ing their jobs better. They realize that they profit as their company prosper . Management recognize that our economic s stem mu t nable men to live on an increasingly higher plane. It must enable them to fullfil their desires and , atisfy theh· rea onaule wants and give them that feeling of , ewrity which i . e sential to happines and efficiency. What are these reasonable wants which men have a right to see sati. tied a far as the conditions of indu ·try pennit? Out of my long experiene in industry I have c me to the conclusion that they jnclude: Fair wages for effici n.t ervice. Steady1 uninterrupted employh1 nt. Safeguarding- of lives and h alth. Good phys ical \ orking c.onditions. A voice in th regulati on of condition· under which men work. Provi~ion Jor laying up s;-w ings and to become partner · in the busin ss. Som guarantee of financial ind p ndence in old · ge. With fair wages, st ady emrlo:vment, a financial inter st in th usiness, and a means of contact and cooperation ' ith the management through representatives of his c wn choo:-;ing, the worker has secured the fulfillment of the. rnost impo:rtant and vital of his de- . ~:; rr e !-< • But Llwre are oLher fadors which should not be overlooked. One of these concerns the safety of wof'k, for, indeed, accidents affect both wages and stability of employment . Noteworthy advances have been made in industt·ial safety since the beginning ()[ the century. They reflect credit alike upon management and men, for es$ entially it has been a cooperative movement. Accident prevention is a joint t·esponsibility upon employees as well as employers. It req uire activity on the part of both and the enthu. ia tic intere t of alL I have always said that no matter how great or how small his position, a man can do better work under the spur of encouragement than under the lash of criticism. It is this spirit of encomagement which has brought the safety movement in this country to its present high state of efficiency. Then, too, that splendid organization, the National ·Safety Council, has extended its field of activities since it was organized a few years ago until today it reaches out into every industry and literally 'every home in America. It has done commendable work and it is going still f urther in unf urling the banner of universal safety to all the civilized nations of the world. The problem of safety is not new. As a matter of fact, it is as old as civilization. The first law of nature is self-preservation, but, like all of the wonderful advances in human endeavor, it required the vision and faith of far-seeing men to make the safety of workers an essential feature of good management in our industries. What is safety work? Th be t definition I have heard was given by the Rev. John McDowell. He stood before the ste I men in convention a sembled, with an empty sleev that !.>ore mute evidenc of his early years as a P nnsylvania. miner. He talked ft·om his heart. Let me quote him: "To save human Hf is the noblest of all purpo es. It embodies the highest ideal of humanity. It conserv th b • t a set of the nation; provides it b st p ot ction, and cr ate its real glory. It incarnates the spirit of d mocracy and broth. rhood."
